Covid has no cure.

Long Covid has no cure.

The pandemic is ongoing.

Masks work to prevent airborne transmission.

The government doesn’t care about protecting our health or our lives.

Have you thought about why you’re choosing to do absolutely nothing about it?
4.5 years is a long time, but it’s never too late to start caring.

Two years ago, I had a horrible psych appt. I advocated for myself and was dismissed at every turn. I recorded the appt & posted it last year.

I was interviewed in a GLAMOUR UK article about autistic women being dismissed by doctors.

I’ve long since been confirmed autistic by an autistic healthcare provider.

Anything else, complete stranger from thousands of miles away?

The bloodlust in your words drips with white supremacy.

White American Zionists, you are white FIRST. And you clearly don’t see humanity in people who don’t look like you.

Your judgement is compromised. You need to take a second to realize how fucking evil you sound.
🧵
Perpetuating the cycle of abuse by condoning Palestinian genocide is not how people heal.

The propaganda has seeped into your brains and you’ve been bathing in it. As an American, I can spot a propagandized brain. I’m surrounded by it.

You’re siding with evil.
It reminds me of every American response to a marginalized community mobilizing their efforts of equality + liberation. All Lives Matter, etc.

Reactionary. “But what about me?”

Decenter yourselves long enough to realize that your hatred can’t be hidden behind blaming Hamas.

A 🧵 about time

I don’t have a clue how I made it thru K-12, undergrad, and a year of grad school with that perpetual walls-are-closing-in feeling.

Deadlines, papers, homework, tests, rehearsals, concerts, recitals, juries… christ.

But I think I might’ve just figured out why.
Being time-blind can mean a lot of things.

Sometimes an hour feels like a day. Sometimes a day feels like a week.
Or a week feels like a couple days.
Or an hour goes by in 15 minutes.

These aren’t isolated incidents.
This is just my fucked-up relationship with time.
My first few years out of school were bonkers. Months would go by and I’d be genuinely flummoxed.

It’s July? It feels like March.

Keeping a consistent schedule at work wouldn’t help either.

My work weeks melded together like a bag of Haribos in a hot car.

This book is full of answers to the questions I’ve harbored my whole life. It’s important to be able to identify these attributes in the people who raised us. This chapter was eye-opening.

Pre-vax 2020 was telling.

The locals bar-hopping like nothing was happening.

Performative activism online until it’s time to put up or shut up.

2.5 years later, they’re on their 4th infection, wondering why they can’t roll over in bed anymore without getting winded.

A rant 🧵
Emotionally immature people, when put in positions of authority, don’t magically develop insight and maturity from being in that position.

If they address their personal problems by suppressing and avoiding them, their public policies will reflect that.
Our leaders have failed humanity on a global scale. In 50 years, people will only look back at us with incredulity— how could we be this stupid and selfish?

How can we expect to return to a normal that is now forever out of our reach?

Can I just— real quick—

Female + Human = Woman

Using “female” as a noun for “woman” is one of *the* biggest red flags.

Everyone I’ve seen use this language in earnest has turned out to be some form of shitbag and I’ve yet to meet an exception.
If you didn’t realize the misogynist implications of this, I get it.

Folks who view women as less than human are often the loudest ones in the room.

If you grew up around that, it’s inevitable to internalize some of it.

The onus is on us as adults to unlearn it and do better.
To cover my bases—

I don’t mean adjective (such as “female director”)

I mean like

“I saw a female crossing the street”
“There are a lot of females here”
“A female asked me if she could borrow a pen”

You sound like a cop.
Don’t be gross.
